Be it known that we, JOHN H. EMERY and WILLIAM H. STEWART, Jr., citizensof the United States, residing at Glaysville, in the county ofWashington and State of Pennsylvania, have in ven ted new and usefulImprovements in a Combination Butcher-Knife and Saw, of which thefollowing is a speciiication.

Onr invention relates to a combination knife and saw adapted especiallyfor the use of butchers; and the object is to provide a combinationdevice of this character which will conveniently serve the purpose inView and avoid the necessity of using two separate implements.

The construction of the improvement will be fully described hereinafterin connection with the accompanying drawings, which form a part of thisspecification, and its novel features will be defined in the appendedclaims.

The reference-numeral l designates a knifeblade the shank of which issecured to a handle comprising two plates or sections 2, securedtogether by a rivet 3, which also secures the knife-blade to the handle.The handle-sections 2 extend above the upper edge of the knife-blade,and between the upwardly-extending edges of the sections 2 is pivoted asaw-blade il by means of a pivot 5. The rear end of the knife-bladeshank is beveled, as shown at 6, to serve as a stop for the saw, asillustrated by dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Between the sections 2 of the handle are arranged bent springs 7 and 8,whose function is to clamp the saw-blade 4 and retain it in the closedposition shown in Fig. l.

The knife l is formed adjacent to its outer end and on the upper side oredge thereof with parallel ears or lugs 9, which serve as guards for theouter end of the saw.

The utility of the combination implement constructed as above describedwill be readily understood and appreciated from the accompanyingillustrations, and the device may beinanufactured at small expense.
